To construct an angle congruent to a given ∠XYZ, which of the following is the *most crucial* step to ensure congruence?
ADrawing an initial ray for the new angle.
BUsing the same compass opening to mark arcs on both the original angle's rays and the new angle's ray.
CPlacing the compass point at the vertex of the original angle.
DExtending the rays of the original angle to be longer.
When constructing the bisector of ∠ABC, the first step is to place the compass point on vertex B and draw an arc. What is the primary purpose of this first arc?
ATo find the midpoint of the angle's rays.
BTo create two points equidistant from the vertex B.
CTo determine the measure of the angle in degrees.
